1996 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG (W202)

Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • 57,000 miles confirmed by a mileage verification certificate
  • Fantastic original condition (rust-free Japanese import)
  • 3.6-litre straight-six
  • Advisory-free MOT valid until August 2024
  • Reportedly running very well, with no known faults

The Appeal

In 1995, Mercedes-Benz sent two C Class saloons to Brabus with a simple, yet challenging brief - to challenge the supremacy of the E36 BMW M3. Suffice it to say, the result was mightily impressive, both from behind the wheel and to onlookers.
Here we have a fabulous original example with just 57,000 warranted miles on the odometer. Highly specced and very well preserved, this handsome modern classic would make a choice daily driver, or else, something special for weekend road trips. Offered with an advisory-free MOT valid until August 2024, it is ready to be enjoyed and reportedly drives very well indeed.
